ITCOW 360

The back of the memorial, one of the big trees.

One of the many wall of names at the memorial.

Front View again, Big Cross.

It’s a really nice place to be. The Kranji War Memorial.

For the brave who has given their life so that men can live free.

From here on, all 360 Panos are done using my new Nodal Ninja 3. It’s a lot better! For those interested, with a Canon 350D fitted with a 10-20 Sigma, upper rail is 93 and lower rail is 41 for the nodal point/ entrance pupil.

Gotten beta versions of Lightroom and Photoshop CS3 and relooked at one of the more dull pano I have, the Millenia Tower one and applied some preset effect (Darktone +105) in Lightroom then used CS3, adjusted some Levels and here’s a more interesting 360 Pano. Then applied noise ninja, as you can see, with my Canon 350D at ISO 1600, the panos are rather noisy… all took 10 mins. They’re some kick arse products!

Here’s the same Pano of one of the Clarke Quay shot I like quite a bit applied with Orton Effect.

This is a totally different looking when night falls. Here’s beautiful Clarke Quay.

The last Pano from Sentosa’s trip. From one of the towers at the Southern most tip.

Here’s the rest of the pano shots.

A short holiday from work to relax at Rasa Sentosa Resort, Sentosa. A full screen no nonsense pano comparing it to the one on the official Rasa Sentosa Resort websit. The photographer who took it cheated! Using a Sentosa logo to cover the nadir (bottom image where the tripod will be) so as to do lesser editing work and using Java will cause problem which I will not go through here. Enjoy this pano. The official Rasa Sentosa’s ones are here.

The Botanic Gardens series of Panos. Good weather for a while before heavy rain hits around this area.

Went back to have this taken and done up.

“Rule #45238973, always hold on tight to your tripod and guard it with your life when taking Pano.” I was taking a pano right in front of the Merlion when some tourist accidently kicked my tripod. ISO1600 f/4 and at 1/10 sec, I thought, should be ok. WRONG WRONG WRONG! “Rule #7450965832, always retake when not sure!” It caused motion blur and there’s no way to have a nice pano. It’s ok, good reason to revisit Merlion for another Pano shoot soon. So here’s the Civilisation Museum and Anderson Bridge for now.

It was quite a fun trip today. Saw many photographers (some are in the pano) when I was taking the first Civilisation Museum pano shot. They should know or they’re thinking again, “why taking photo of the floor?” - now you know.

Needed to relax after a hard day’s work and what better ways to be doing that than taking PANO and some perspiring walking. Here’s Cavenagh Bridge and Fountain Square located near China Square Central. Both about 15 minutes walk from my office.

Been a long time since I’ve been in a playground. I mean, actually climbing the ladders and be in it! Took 2 Pano of the same playground.

Another playground area at Blk 987D Jurong West.

Finally, a small but long park opposite my blocks. Hidden behind the coffeeshop. A nice place.

An old Pano, taken along Telok Ayer Street. Did not take a separate nadir photos thus resorted to clone stamping. Bad nadir but now I know! (make a mental note…)

Good and bad thing. I recently crashed my file server at home but all’s well as it’s running RAID 5 and been a long time since I burn them to DVD so good time to upgrade. Replaced it with 2 x file servers (both RAID 5 of course!) and formatted the rig i used to generate all the pano you see as I found out it’s not the software(s) causing problems, it was the OS itself.

Here, some remake of the panos in better resolutions. Enjoy!
